You'll need to work hard to earn your point here!  So, what is this called, when was it built, and what was its purpose (only a full and correct answer will attract a point)?

That's obviously a LWB Lancia Stratos but I guess that's not the answer you expect. Is it a test mule for the Lancia Rally 037 ?

Ah ha, you have cunningly hit on something here, as this stretched Stratos is a test mule for something, but not a Lancia Rally 037.  So, what could it be, and what was it called?

It's Renault's project NGA, an enlarged Strato's with Alpine's A310 V6 instead of Dino.

Belated well done Warlord, this is the NGA (Nouvelle Gamme Alpine), a test mule for the future V6-powered Alpine A310, but using R5 Turbo running gear.  Another point to you.
